@Hit_Boy The potion is always found in the poison, so that hurt is just beneficial growth. Like Jung said, “God enters through the wound”. As much as it hurts, much better to sit alone with God than be surrounded by people not on your level.

On this day in 1958, music icon Prince was born. ☔️

This guitar is shaped like Prince’s famous “Love Symbol,” a glyph he created to express artistic freedom and identity. Fusing the astrological symbols for Mars and Venus, it reflects the blending of masculine and feminine elements that became central to his image and artistry.

The instrument echoes the opening lyrics of the musician’s “I Would Die 4 U” (1984): “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man / I am something that you’ll never understand.”

📣 Now open! See "Musical Bodies," the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between musical instruments and the body by bringing together over 130 instruments, paintings, sculptures, drawings, and more.

Some words of wisdom for the soul.

[JBlessing @JBlessingArt]

@iamstillpunch All human emotion and behaviors are just reflections and projections. We recognize patterns everywhere and if we are being honest, it’s all just a collective consciousness of God anyways. When we learn how to stop our emotions from controlling us, then we are free.

@relientkenny This better be the new wave. Fuck algorithms and fuck album rollouts. THIS makes it fresh, exciting and the focus is directly on the artist and the music.

Small fish in small ponds only pay attention to the present. If you really want to notice patterns and parallels to help your future, you have to study the past.

@iamstillpunch The quality of the moments determines how great that moment is, then we further break it down by what we define as quality.
